Property Description for 38 Decatur Street

38 Decatur Street was originally constructed in 1899. This newly renovated home is a beautiful depiction of old meets new, with modern finishes accentuated by original details.


The townhouse is set up as a single-family limestone and features 4 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, a serene backyard, and a 1000sf English basement that is very versatile. From White Oak 5-inch floors to thoughtfully designed molding and exposed brick, attention to detail can be found throughout this well-appointed home.


As you enter the four-bedroom triplex, you are greeted by an original mosaic-tiled foyer and glass door. Stepping into a 50-foot parlor, you realize the breadth of space as the 10.5-foot ceilings let the light radiate throughout the open floor plan. To the left, a formal living room area offers a great space for entertaining. To the right, a large dining area, fourth bedroom and thoughtfully designed full bathroom. In the middle, your kitchen features a four-seat island, custom cabinetry and a full complement of stainless steel appliances.


Upstairs you find three bedrooms and two full baths. The elegant master bedroom faces the beautiful treelined street and features three windows and a dressing area that could be used as walk-in closet. The master bath is adorned with classic mosaic tiled floors, subway tiled walls, a tasteful vanity, and a glass-enclosed rain shower. As you head down the hall, you pass the complementary second bathroom adjacent to two comfortable bedrooms.


The windowed basement is finished with textured tile floors and a full bathroom. Brightened with natural light from both from and back, this space can easily be transformed into a playroom, home office or artist studio or perhaps used as an in-law suite.


This masterfully reimagined townhouse is located on a beautiful, tree-lined block in the heart of Bedford-Stuyvesant. You are moments away from great establishments such as Peaches Hot House, Eugene & Co, and BedVyne as well as several parks, including Herbert Von King. Nearby public transportation includes the A/C train at Nostrand and B26 on Halsey. Additionally, as you may know, the acclaimed Coop School is now on Marcus Garvey and Gates.

Bedford Stuyvesant | Brooklyn

Quick Profile

Known for its historic brownstones and tight-knit enclave, Bed-Stuy has increasingly left behind its early reputation for being a “bedroom community” and transcended into a highly desirable neighborhood. 

Distinct for its aesthetic, it is populated with ornate buildings characterized by cornices, friezes, finials, fluting and other marks of classic architecture. Built up during the period from 1870 to 1900, its historic district runs to the north of Jefferson Avenue, to the east of Malcolm X Boulevard and to the west of Tompkins Avenue. 

At one point known as “Brooklyn’s Little Harlem,” the shape of the area has shifted toward attracting a wider demographic of people thanks to the influx of bars, restaurants, antique furniture stores and vintage boutiques. More police enforcement paired with the decline of the crack epidemic at the beginning of the 2000s also opened the door for increased development, as well as the occupation of formerly abandoned buildings and spaces.
